Cannot Reproduce (tester is unable to reproduce the bug after a new build is tested)

Need More Info (information submitted by tester is insufficient. dev needs more information about the problem)

A nice set of references for us game testers out there :)

Comment by TM2Ben

its look like a voitwalker, you need 5 dark matters and than go to the summoning stone cord 53.8-33.6

Comment by zibary

make sure to kill the summoner's first and then finish off the void walkers. I found if I killed the void walkers first, I was unable to extract from them.

Comment by yellowbiz

I found that you don't have to finish the channeling, you can just click the summoning stone and fly away.

Also it has nothing to do with who you kill first - I kill the Minions first and it works fine as long as you don't kill two Minions without Extracting from the first one.

So, kill the Summoner + Minion (doesn't matter the order), then extract the Dark Matter and only then kill another Summoner + Minion.

Comment by ChrisRedfield

This item used in this quest, Dark Matter is probably a reference to Futurama, where Dark Matter is a fuel source that comes in the shape of a big black ball.

Comment by snugglebear

There is sort of a bug with this quest. If you try and use the on 2 voidwalkers right next to each other it wont let you collect from both of them. This may have to due with the fact that you don't have to target the mobs.

Comment by Cecyll

This quest's name is quite ironic. It's very bugged.

You can use the Rod of Siphoning on any dead Enslaved Minion; It doesn't matter if it was tapped or not. (This isn't considered a bug, it's just general information.)

The dark matter is NOT a 100% drop/siphon rate! Even if you just killed the Minion, you won't get the matter if you get to work right away. Nothing can guarantee that you WILL get one, but here are two things that will guarantee that that you WON'T:

Interrupting the channeling effect flags the Minion as having been siphoned, so you will not be able to get dark matter from these corpses. This is what I consider a bug.

There is no pattern to finding a Minion that has dark matter. You can siphon it from the corpse while the summoner is alive, you can siphon it from the corpse after their dead. The order in which you kill the minion and summoner does not matter. It doesn't matter if you're in combat, or if you banished the minion, or if what-have-you. Every minion has dark matter. If your siphon isn't working, you either moved, took damage, or someone already siphoned it; It is possible that your siphon just won't work on occasion, most likely attributed to server lag.

This daily is not worth the amount of gold rewarded (at level 80). There are far easier, and far more enjoyable ways to get 13g than this quest.

Comment by Zuorias

The dark matter actually drops 100% of the time. The problem is that with all the bugs with the quest mobs (not being able to loot two mobs on top of each other, getting interrupted and losing your chance, etc) make it a headache to complete. I'd recommend doing this quest and Retest Now at the same time, as you can drink the Diluted Cult Tonic and get the Tainted Essences off the cultist mobs who accompany the voidwalkers.

Comment by hmoloy

The minions are not near the stone. They are further east as well as on the platform above around 54,30.

Comment by Thalassicus

If you use the rod on a minion's corpse while other minion corpses are nearby, it will invalidate all the other corpses as well after using the rod. Only use the rod with 1 corpse present.

Also invalidates all nearby corpses if you are interrupted while using the rod.

If the quest doesn't bug out, it's a 100% drop rate.

Comment by Windwalk

The ACTUAL bug is that if you kill two voidwalkers in a row, you can only siphon the latest one you killed. In fact (this is untested) the voidwalker that you siphon might have to be the latest mob you've killed. Otherwise, when you try to siphon, it puts you in combat and stops the channel.

The bug annoying but easy to avoid once you're aware of it.

Of course, given the name of this quest, maybe it's not a bug ;)

Comment by MisterEver

In fact (this is untested) the voidwalker that you siphon might have to be the latest mob you've killed.It seems to be that you cannot aggro anything after damaging the voidwalker. I've tested it by purposely pulling adds. As long as I haven't directly damaged the voidwalker, I can kill the add, then the voidwalker, and sucessfully use the rod.

I suppose that if your add is another Void Summoner, then you'll still be screwed out of one Dark Matter.

Comment by Czarodziejmadman

How to summon "Dark messenger" anyone know that?

Comment by MisterEver

I suppose that if your add is another Void Summoner, then you'll still be screwed out of one Dark Matter.I was able to test this today when I got a Void Summoner add. I killed the two Void Summoners before touching either of the Enslaved Minions, rooted one voidwalker, killed the other and siphoned him, then killed the rooted one and was able to siphon him too.

Moral of the story: Don't touch the Enslaved Minions until you're sure there's not going to be anything to interrupt your siphoning.

Comment by ChaosWarLord

56,28 here have Voids

Comment by Megabone

I cannot get the summoning stone to work. Nothing happens when I click it (and yes, I have the Dark Matter)

Comment by smaugrens

As Chaos noted above, the targets for the rod you are given are actually voidwalkers, and are minion servants to Void Summoners. Kill them and use the rod on the corpse. You won't find them on the lower tier of Aldur'thar, try the east side, one or two tiers above the main tier.

Comment by plumber

Good way of avoiding break while siphoning darkmatter, is to separate the void from the caster as far as possible. This way the caster doesn't intercept your siphon with melee, and you have the extra time while his shadowbolts fly.

Comment by catdog

Yes I did find a bug on the quest. Each time I tried to use the rod, it entered me into combat even tho there was nobody by me.

Comment by ehsteve23

Druids in flight form can use the summoning stone from the air

Comment by grimnos

You don't have to target the voidwalker to use the rod.

Comment by Namaha

Ironically, this quest is bugged.

Comment by fatolcay

reverse psychology.

Comment by cawfee

Still bugged in 3.1

Comment by Khalaas

A small tip for rogues doing this daily: you can get an extra Dark Matter (or two if you are Prep-specced) from a single warlock. Sneak up to him, sap him, kill the minion, siphon, then Vanish. Sap will fade and warlock will instantly resummon the voidwalker. Rinse, repeat.

Comment by Grishnaak

Yep, if you accidentally get adds while trying to kill one, you just wasted your time because the rod won't work for that voidwalker. You have to kill the voidwalker and his master only, then use the rod. It sucks, because there are wandering pats and mobs everywhere, so it's very easily to get adds and waste a lot of time.

Comment by Grizela

This was a frustrating quest for me because (1) as soon as I landed 5 summoners and minions converged on me at once and, although I managed to kill them all, I was unable to gather dark matter from any of the minions....(2) after a long wait for them to reappear, they were more spread out and I was able to fight them in pairs (summoner and minion) BUT most of the time I had the same issue as Catdog --whenever I applied the rod, I immediately entered into combat...and the siphoning stopped.

Eventually, I was able to gather 5 dark matters, but it took a long time. I tried to see a pattern such as described by others above and I think there ALMOST was one...the following order was the most successful (but not always):

1. Kill the Summoner.2. Kill the Minion (make sure it is a bit away from the Summoner's corpse).3. Use the rod on the Minion and gather Dark Matter.4. Loot the Summoner and the Minion.

As long as you don't get an "entering combat" message at Step #3, you should be fine.

Once you successfully have 5 Dark Matters, so to the platform below, to the purple crystal that is named "summoning crystal", click on it (you get the "gears" icon) and that is all you need to do.

Cheers,

Comment by Zimon1994

You need to kill Enslaved Minion, and then use your Rod of Siphoning, when they are death.Then you get 5 Dark Matter (1 each killed Enslaved Minion) and go to Summon Stone.

Remember if you are on the dayli quest called: Retest Now.Use your Diluted Cult Tonic on you, so you get your Tainted Essence, for the improved quest.

Comment by hordman

how do u get this quest

Comment by CybeRocK

Anyone got any idea why when I go to the summoning stone and i click on it, nothing happens? i already got the 5 dark matter in my inventory

Comment by Isje

talked to a gm about this quest maybe being buggedit's not a 100% drop, you have to work for it :)

don't kill many at a time just one

you should be allright

Comment by Mokazumi

If I'm not mistaken, didn't this quest and the other dailies this NPC gives, along with the ones from the goblin nearby, provide Warsong Offensive rep? I remember doing the dailies a bit a while back, I thought all of them gave rep. But I went to hand in a couple yesterday and I didn't get any. Am I mistaken?

Comment by Wolfenpilot687

Is this quest bugged?

Comment by darkpanda

I just completed this quest, its not bugged anymore.

Comment by Thylanes

This quest is still bugged. I have collected the dark matter, the gear wheel appears over the summoning stone when I go there, but absolutely nothing happens. I have dropped and retaken the quest, still no luck :(

Comment by amnesiac

collect 5x Dark Matter from voids around then click on skulls near the summonning stone at 53.33.

Comment by Nerothia

You have to kill the blue thingies that look like a warlock's pet, then click on their dead body and use the siphon to collect the energy. When done, go to the blue summoning stone with the skulls and click. Might take 2-3 clicks.
